[ARCHIVED THREAD] - First snake cleaning bore broke

Posted: 8/20/2001 12:45:40 PM EDT

Never thought it would happen but I actually wore out a .22 rifle snake bore. Was just looking at it and thought it looked a little worn, and then it broke. It broke right below the woven brass cleaning brushes.

So...

One well worn and broken .22 snake bore cleaning brush dealie.

Would like to trade for AR lower if possible...

LOL on the Trading Post spoof. Hope you got it out with no hassles.

BTW, how much use had it had before failure?

I've had it for 2 years, and used it every 2 weeks. I would have expected a longer duration. Paid $12 at CheaperThanDirt, so will order another.

Do you really like that thing? Quicker than a brush and mop? What's the process you usually follow? I may give one a try in my beater rifles.

I got several of those bore cleaner and they work very well.

My usual procedure is to run one snake soaked in cleaner through the barrel 3 or 4 times. That is followed by a clean/dry snake 2-3 times. It takes less than 2 minutes.

They work pretty good. I got one for my revolver, and wish I had some other calibers. If bought all I need, it would be at least $100 worth.
